Lean Bodies Health and Fitness

We’ve all heard you can’t “spot reduce”, right?  This means that doing millions of crunches won’t give you that hot 6 pack.  And all the sexy hip abductor exercises in the world aren’t going to give you a round booty.  You have to lose the fat through diet and exercise in general.  Then and only then, can you show off that bod that all of your strength training built for you.  But this isn’t a post on spot reduction.  I will talk more about that later.

There actually ARE some exercises you can do to target your trouble spots.  This means that doing these exercises will give you a hot and sexy (insert trouble spot here) when you have shed the fat that is covering it.

Do you have a:              Try this strength move:        Or this cardio move:

Chubby Bum                   Step ups                                       Kickboxing
Muffin Top                       Oblique Crunches                    Rowing Machine
Pouchy Belly                  Reverse Crunches                    Interval Training
Saddlebags                      Curtsey Lunges                         Elliptical Trainer
Droopy Breasts             Incline Dumbbell Press         Basketball

This exercises are not a cure-all.  You’ve still got to watch your diet and burn the fat.  But they may help give you the shape you want in the end.
